Overview
HealthDirect provides health information and advice to Australians through a 24/7 helpline (1800 022 222) and a public website (healthdirect.gov.au). People use these resources to understand health issues and find appropriate care; in emergencies, they should call Triple Zero (000). It is government-owned and not-for-profit, working with federal and state governments to improve health, ageing, and social services with input from clinical, design, and communications experts. Its goal is to support a high-quality Australian health system by helping consumers manage their health and access care quickly through technology-enabled information and guidance.
